2003 Press Releases

For the first time in the industry, No Magic features a free UML reader that allows to read and print MagicDraw diagrams. The MagicDraw Reader edition is made for reading and previewing UML models created with all versions of MagicDraw and is free of charge. It is extremely useful when you want to share your ideas expressed in UML with partners, colleagues, or clients, who do not have their own copy of MagicDraw. The Free Reader edition is also fully equipped with printing and image export capabilities.

MagicDraw is now integrated with IntelliJ IDEA 4.0 (Aurora build #963), a top-rated Java development environment. This integration completes No Magic’s integration efforts with all Top 5 Java IDEs; Borland JBuilder, IBM Eclipse, Sun ONE Studio 4 and NetBeans. Now users can keep the code synchronized with the model and have all UML diagrams in their favorite IDE.

MagicDraw Version 7.1 also features:

Export diagram images using Open API.

Reports generation from console without running MagicDraw.

Fixed positions for links on shapes: connection points may be selected strictly from the middle of the shape side or from the edge.

There is a huge change in MagicDraw product line - instead of Standard and Professional editions, there will be Personal, Standard, programming language based Professional, and Enterprise editions.

All MagicDraw Professional edition owners have been upgraded to MagicDraw Enterprise Edition, courtesy of No Magic. Besides the licensing changes we have also made a lot of improvement and new features.

What's new in MagicDraw Version 7.0:

XML Schema 1.1 code generation and reverse engineering.

Improved search functionality. Search may be performed by element, stereotype, tagged value, constraint, or documentation. Java regular expressions may be used in a search. A search may be performed by TODO tagged value.

Expected by a lot of MagicDraw users open API is ready. Now system designers and developers can implement and use their own Java or JPython plugins. The MagicDraw 6.0 is not just flexible and user-friendly, it is completely customizable, and the users can access diagrams, UML model, and even GUI from their plugins and customize their work, as they need.

Good news for the popular NetBeans users, integrate it with MagicDraw 6.0 and use two products in more effective way. We are also glad to announce a news for C# developers, C# support is extended, the MagicDraw 6.0 is able to reverse engineer and generate the C# code.
